Adding a file or a release

What you'll need:

A storage connection—we recommend Amazon S3

Adding a new release

Head on over to the Assets section and select
Add a new release. You'll be asked to give it a
title and a description—this is for your reference only. When
you're done, click Save changes. Inside the
release details page is where you can specify the artist name,
release date, catalog number and begin attaching files for
download.

To add fulfillment files to your release click Attach a
file. You'll once again be asked to give it an internal
name and description, and then asked which storage connection to
use. Select your connection from the Which storage
connection? dropdown menu and an upload button will
appear. If you host the files on your own server, provide the
location (URI). When you're done, click Save
changes.To return to your release and continue adding
files, click the arrow in the upper-left-hand corner.

When you're done adding files to your release, click
Save changes.

Tip: All the files you attach to a given
release will be made available as a group. For instance, if you're
offering an album and attach 12 mp3 files and two artwork files,
whoever accesses your release through one of our elements will have
to individually download all fourteen files. Consider compressing
all your files into a zip file.

Uploading a file

If you choose to add a file, you'll be prompted to give it a
name and a description—this is for your reference only. If
you've set up a Drive or S3 account, select it from the
Which storage connection? dropdown menu and an
upload button will appear to add your file. If you host the files
on your own server, provide the location (URI). When you're done,
click Save changes.
